Quantum Field Theory and Many Body Physics 2023

Prerecorded lecture Thursday, June 8:

Here is the link to the lecture. THE PASSWORD IS passwordpassword = TWICE THE USUAL PASSWORD WITHOUT ANY SPACES IN BETWEEN.

The corresponding lecture notes are in Chapter 11 (see link below). You should probably work through the notes in addition to listening to the lecture as the latter focuses on the ideas rather than the detailed calculations. (The material is also explained in many of the books on the literature list, e.g., Altland/Simons, Wen, Negele/Orland etc.). The lecture and the lecture notes contain parts on the Green function of free bosons (Sec. 11.5. in the notes). You can skip these because I did not manage to introduce Green functions (and Matsubara frequencies) yet.

Please note the following rearrangements:

Friday June 2: lecture (no tutorial)

Monday June 5: tutorial (no lecture)

Thursday June 8: prerecorded lecture

(The Friday tutorial on June 9 will take place as usual.)
